Posted by: Tanja Trezise on Aug 7, 2014

Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals

Attorneys 1:

Mark Alan Deakins, Chattanooga, Tennessee, pro se.

Attorneys 2:

Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; and Brent C. Cherry, Senior Counsel, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.

Judge(s): OGLE

The petitioner, Mark Alan Deakins, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, asserting that he had “flattened” his sentences for his convictions of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, and statutory rape. He alleged that the Tennessee Department of Correction improperly calculated his pretrial jail credits and sentencing credits. The habeas corpus court denied the petition, and the petitioner appeals. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.
